"Who is this who comes
from Edom, with garments dyed
from Bozrah? He who is glorious in His apparel, traveling in the greatness of His strength?"
"I who speak in righteousness, Mighty to save."
"Why are You red in Your apparel, and Your garments like he who treads in the wine vat?"
"I have trodden the winepress alone… I will tread them in My anger, and trample them in My fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon My garments, and I will stain all My raiment. For the Day of vengeance is in My heart, and the year of My redeemed has come." (
Isaiah 63:1–4)
“He who is glorious in His apparel,” covered in blood. Why does the Lord want His glorious apparel stained in the blood of His enemies?
Jeremiah 50:15-16
[15] Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the Lord : take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her. [16] Cut off the
sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the
sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.
Revelation 14:19-20
[19] And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. [20] And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
Romans 12:19-21
[19] Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will
repay, saith the Lord. [20] Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. [21] Be not overcome of evil, but
overcome evil with good.
What did the crucifixion (His death) not repay? 1 Timothy 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men,
specially of those that believe.
Blood to the bridle, is Life to the bridle.
Luke 9:54-56 And when his disciples James and John saw this , they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? [55] But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye
know not what manner of spirit ye are of. [56] For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them.
Are you expecting the return of Elias or the Lord? Because Elias has already come. Matthew 11:14-15 And if ye will receive it , this is Elias, which was for to come. [15] He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Again vengeance is mine, I will
repay.
What sinner did the Lord not include in He died for all men especially those that believe.
